A DRUNKEN REPRESENTA-
TIVE.

The following interesting hit of
news to Nevadans is from the
Washington Capitol OF August IA,
and may be particularly interesting
to the political associates OF the in
dividual under discussion:
"No paper that l have seen dur
ing the past week has commented
on the facts which have come to
light i'm regarL to Mr.. Merrill, who
represents this Government at Hon
olulu. 1t is stated that at a dinner
given by an English gentleman at
Honolulu, at which a number of
English and United States naval
officers were present, Mr.. Merrill
was so enthusiastic that the host
felt obliged to bring the festive o.
casion to a very abrupt end. The
correspondent who describes the al
fair thinks it very unfortunate that
inst at this junction, when a revo-
luton is taking place In the
Hawaiian Islands, we should be
represented there by man who is
not possessed of sufficient self-re-
spect to maintain the dignity of his
office. 1t seems to be another IL
lustration OF the folly of letting poll.
tics have anything whatever to dc
with our diplomatic service"

BUY NEVADA LAND.

Carson is having its own land
boom in small way. 1t is stated
that within the last week or two all
the unapplied for land lying between
this city and Ross's ranch has been
taken up. 1t seems our people are
beginning to realize that Nevada
will have. q boom some day and
that land in almost any part OF the
State can be taken up with good
prospects OF realizing large profit
on it At a not very distant day. So
many people, however, are lured to
buy land in California by the recent
rapid rise in its value that they too
eagerly invest their money there.
The boom in that State is spasmodic,
and there is danger that the impet-
uous speculator may pay more Tor
the land than he will ever be able
to sell it for again. The APPEAL
would ADVISE its readers TO buy Ne
yada land, which will rise on its
own value without the need OF syn
dictates 20 boom it.

THE EEFECT OF ahG II
TEMPERATURE

The Chicago Tribune publishes a
curious list of the events of July In
the United States by way of illustrat-
ing the untoward influence of an
abnormally high temperature upon
human blood and brain. There
were 23O murders, a great increase
over any other monthly total for
many years. There was an average
of eight suicides day. There were
I73 persons killed by railroad acct
dents, and also 200 were badly in
iured thereby. There were 293
persons drowned, exceeding bv 100
per cent. the number dying in that
way in a month for many years.
There were seventy-eigbt persons
burned to death, sixty-four killed
by lightning, fifty by powder ex-
plosions, and thirty by mine acci-
dents. The fire losses amounted
to SIS 200, 900, exceeding the totals
of any other month since the Chi
cago fire seventeen years ago.
When the atmospheric temperature
exceeds that OF human blood at its
normal range the resultant eleva-
ton of tie latter appears to make
it a dangerous compound.

MARRIAGE BY PROXY.

Unlawful nnh Good Nensons Why 1t Is So.
Tho Vim Znndt.sples Affair.
Chicago Journal.
"What do you think Of the Spies-Van
Zandt proxy msrriage?" was asked of
Stephen A. Douglas. IT think" answered
Mr.. Douglas, "thatare there three occasions
when common decency requires man to
DO present-viz.: his birth, his marriage
and his funeral. Not only do believe
this proxy business to be valid, but l do
not believe that Mr.. Spies is in position
to contract valid marriage in his proper
person. Just after the war, in adjusting
the changed relations in tho South, one Of
the mort important questions which arose
was as to the validity OF marriages. where
ono or both parties were slaves. OF course
tho courts were anxious to sustain them,
for doing otherwise unsettled the home
relations Of four.ltths OF the lsboring
lation OF the South. In spite Of this the
courts throughout tho South, with prscti.
cal unanimity, held, first, that consent
was tho first requisite Of legal marriage.
and, second, that being under the master's
control a slave could not legally consent
to anything, and that therefore such mar.
riages were not binding. Now in analogy
here is q man under sentence Of death.
Remember that the Supreme Court must
act atlirmatively in his favor before the
shadow OF the gallows is removed from
him; and who is novcr allowed Tor one
moment to DO out Of sight Of the death
watch from the time Of the sentence until
his isto is finally determined by the su-
preme Court. He can receive no letters,
can sec no visitors, can absolutely do moth.
